In the year 1890 there were imported into the United States, many of them from Mexico, 38,248 horses, on which there was a duty of $20 each and the aggregate value of which was nearly $2,000,000, In the same year the number of horses exported from the United States, chiefly to Burope, was 3001, valued at $700,000, a differ- ence in the balance of trade of Si,- 300,000, Bince then, especially with Mexico, the balance of trade in horses has changed radieally, and now the average annual sales of American horses in Mexico reach $100,000, In the fiscal year ending January Ist, 1898, the ber of horses imported into the United States had fallen to 2286 and the humber of horses exported from the United States has risen to 61,150, the importation of horses representing $200,000 in value and the exportation of horses representing @ total in ex- conn Of $6,000,000, There has been of recent years & steady increase in the item of Amere lean foreign commerce, and It seems certain to increase still ufrther in view of the fact that there is throughout the West Indies and in many South American countries @ dearth of horses at a time when our home demand for American horses has visily decreased. Direct com- munication with Mexico is easier than with any other country toa which horses are sent by the United States and there need be no surprise therefore, dealers In horses say, if there should be an increase in this item of American commerce here- after Of 61,000 horses exported trom the United States last year, 27,000 were sent to Great Britain, nearly 8000 to Germany, 7500 to other Buropean countries, France excepted (there is practically no exportation of Ameri< can horses to France), 9500 to Can- ada, British North America and the Klondike, 1900 to the West Indiag islands and Bermuda, and 1 to Mexico and Central Amertca.? The value of the horses sent to England Was $2,000,000, to German $1, to other European countries 1000, to Rritish North America $883,000, to West Indies and Bermuda $132,000, and to Mexico and Central America $102,000, The trade in American horses witht South America can be said only to have begun, amounting last year to only 21 horses, while five times ag many were sent to Africa and more than ten times as many to Asiatic countries. For American horsea there would appear to be an aseui market in the West Indies since t restoration of peace in Cuba, am during the fiscal year ending Ju. Ist, 1897, nearly 5000 American were shipped to these islands, an the decline in the year succeeding i¢ ascribed generally to the unsettled condition of affairs in Cuba and to the practically enforeed abandon< ment of agricultural operations on many ‘parts of the island. Tempor- arily, too, a number of horses were withdrawn from agricultural pure suits for the requirements af the Cuban cavalry, and some, too, were purchased for the needs of the Span- ish cavairy, and since the restora< tion of peace in Cuba this demand fiLbgve to be'made up by import- atiots from the United States, But to Mexico as a permanent and en- larging market for American horse dealers in this country look chiefly, and by the agricultural census of last year It was shown that there are now more horses In Texas than tn any other American state, the total number being 1,200,000, Illinois and Ohio follow Texas in the order named.
